TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDY
during the highest hour, but,
(3) If the 85-percentile approach speed of the major -street traffic exceeds 65
Km/h (40 mph), the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of
the above values.
D. Where no signal criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all
satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this
condition.
Option:
Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:
A. The need to control left -turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedesian conflicts near locations that
generate high pedestrian volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping , cannot see conflicting
traffic and is not able to safely negotiate the intersection unless
conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop;
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through)
streets of similar design and operating characteristics where
multiway stop control would improve traffic operational
characteristics of the intersection.
EfI TfJ GS AND' IEl AT'IONS
Several methods of controlling conflicting streams of vehicles at intersections are in use.
The use of any one of these methods depends on the type of intersection and the volume
of traffic in each of the conflicting streams. Multi -way stop signs require that all vehicles

approaching the intersection stop before entering that intersection.
Based on field investigations, traffic data collected as part of this study, it is evident that a
multi -way stop sign is not warranted at the following intersections:
• Romero Drive at Venezia Drive. This intersection do not meet any of the
minimum warrant requirements for a multi -way stop sign installation.
• Romero Drive at San Conero Drive and Bogey Way at San Conero Drive.
These intersections do not meet any of the minimum warrant requirements for a
multi -way stop sign installation. Given that Romero Drive and Bogey Way forms
a 90 degree turn at San Conero Drive, horizontal alignment signs should be
installed to inform the road user of a change in the horizontal alignment of the
roadway as shown in Figure 2.
Based on field investigations, traffic data collected as part of this study, it is evident that a
multi -way stop would benefit the entire subdivision at the Intersection of Bogey Way at
Venezia Drive. Currently there are no stop sign along Bogey Way from Scarsdale
Boulevard to San Conero through Romero Drive. Moreover;
I. Installation of a multi -way stop sign at this location would provide
adequate safety and turning conflicts.
2. The need to provide adequate critical gaps during peak hour for outbound
vehicles from side streets and driveways along Bogey Way.
The City of Pearland should provide advance warning signs two weeks prior to the
installation of the multi -way stop sign. Stop sign ahead signs should be installed along
Bogey Way as shown on Figure 3.
